Fundamentals of Control Charts

podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg

On one of my first vendor visits, they proudly showed us the control charts behind glass near the conference room. They were nicely printed, all in perfect control, and rather odd. A control chart belongs on the production line, where the operators make the measurements. They are of little value when automatically collected and printed out once a month for display-only purposes.

Statistical control charting (SPC) is a method for monitoring and determining whether a process is in control or stable. It permits the team to identify opportunities for process improvement and provides the necessary evidence that a process is in control, if it actually is, as a prerequisite for calculating process capability.

Let's discuss control charts and how best to employ them. We will also examine how valuable an SPC program can be for the organization and customers.

This Accendo Reliability webinar was originally broadcast on 9 April 2024.
